About a week ago i had a tutorial with robyn and we talked about using leather/suede in my collection and various ways of using it. He put me onto a contact who used to offer sponsorship but after been in touch with them they are no longer doing it so i set about sourcing it from somehwere else. I set up a standard email which i could make minor adjustments to, to send to various companys. I emailed 11 different companys aking for sponsorship or discount only two responded to me but the following told me although they couldnt sponser me they would give me my order at a discounted/trade price which is definatley worth considering.

Hi, I am writing to yourselves as i am a third year fashion student studying at manchester metropolitan university.
I am currently in the process of finalising the designs for my collection and i am really interested in some leather from yourselves.
My collection is based around roman mythology and the relationship between venus and mars comprimising soft and structured garments.
I am looking to make a leather trench coat, plus some other garments such as a dress leggings and perhaps a couple of handbags.
I am really interested in using the full leather hide in silver grey to which i would need roughly 50 to 70sq foot. I am also
interested in the same in dark beige but a smaller quantity. I am writing to see if you would consider sponsering myself. Weather you would be willing to supply me with the leathers as
sponsership or if you would be wiling to donate some of the leather or anything else you can offer me perhaps the end of a line?
Even a student discount for ordering with yourselves?
I understand this is a big ask but i would be extremly greatful and willing to say it was yourselves that sponsered me and this would
go on all my work featring your products, my look book and would be seen at our manchester fashion show, perhaps London Graduate fashion
week and when i take my work to companys. There are also other students looking to order leather on the course and would be inclined to
order from yourselves from seeing the product you off.
Thank you for your time and i hope you will consider this and i look forward to hearing from you
yours sincerly

Hi Hayley,
Thanks for your interest and request.
Sounds like you’ve got an interesting project going on.
I wouldn’t be able to sponsor you but I would be very willing to help by offering you leather a trade price.
Currently I have two colours which should meet your requirements, these are taupe (dark beige and smooth grey).
If you think these may be of interest please forward your full address and I will arrange to send these samples to you.
Should you have any further questions or requirements please do let me know.
Regards,
Anthony
